Definitely going to buy this, but it's going to look 50 shades of mediocre if it's anything but glossy, really. I'm thinking a Spinal-Tap kinda dealie.

I think we need to really push for a gloss finish on this. It's months until the release date and Fox seem to have Scanavo's manufacturing facilities fully booked for the next couple of months with all of their catalogue releases, so there's plenty of time for StudioCanal/Zavvi to get things right.

Artwork does look a little plain but a gloss finish would make a big difference. Something like Spinal Taps finish would be perfect!

Have Studio Canal ever revamped a steel before based on feedback from a retailer?

when does this go live?

I'm in. Let's do this!

Jonathan Glazer + Scarlett Johansson = Orgasm. (A very loud one at that)

For those who are unfamiliar with his line of work, I'd suggest taking a peak at 'Sexy Beast'. Although from what I can tell, this film seems to be more in line with his other critically neglected (read: weird) film 'Birth'.

Sexy Beast and this are very different films, that aren't remotely comparable. I didn't enjoy Sexy Beast but I thought this was a stunning film. Absolute respect to Scarlett, there really isn't that many actresses from her generation that would be willing to be that brave on camera.

I am seriously praying that this has a nice finish as it deserves a premium steel to suit it's art house nature.

I don't buy into the 'bravery' gimmick considering all the actors that I can recall are actors from movies such as The Angels Share and even the man that turns the tide of the film was also cast for the role (trying to be spoiler free here). Still. Was a cracking film. But it's as divisive as Only God Forgives.

Worst artwork. Can't make out anything. Do they expect to view it via microscope or my OCD-scope?

It's great artwork, they actually used the poster art for a change

 

[RickB84]

definitely a marmite movie. Probably not best to blind buy. I loved it, I hope the release gets brought forward to the same as the amaray release

 

[BradG1984]

I really like the back...

Can we get a rough idea when this goes live?
DB?

The front looks decent. The finishing needs to be super glossy to at least bring out the details on the inside and the back. Otherwise it will be a disaster as the back is almost empty and the inside is way too dark that even if it mastered in 8k and view it from 1 cm distance it is not clear.

 

[Axeqlusive]

Poeh... looks great to me, but indeed... glossy is a must on this one!

 

[themanfromunkle]

sorely tempted-very,very slow burner but quite shocking in places

 

[Themaninblack]

Would be a blind buy for me but the trailer looked very interesting and live the art work

 

[mactaylor]

One of the worst films I ever saw and did us Scots no favours. Lots of critics raved about this movie and all I can say is that the steel looks pretty decent. Film 0 stars, steel 4 stars.

How is this one limited to 2,000?

I bet it sells out in a few hours after going live.

Its a bit of a niche title.
Interesting to see Zavvi apply their ultra limited stock to a new release rather than catalogue titles.
